A police detective hunts for a pattern in a puzzling murder spree in this mystery by “a master” (Time). A blind violinist taking a smoke break. A cosmetics sales rep cooking an omelet in her own kitchen. A college professor trudging home from class. A priest contemplating retirement in the rectory garden. An old woman walking her dog. These are the seemingly random targets, all shot twice in the face. But most serial killers don’t use guns. Most serial killers don’t strike five times in two weeks. And most serial killers’ victims have something more in common than just being over fifty years of age. Now it falls to Det. Steve Carella and his colleagues in the 87th Precinct to find a connection that will crack this case—before another body is found. As Entertainment Weekly said about this long-running, much-loved police procedural series: “Imagine your favorite Law & Order cast solving fresh mysteries into infinity, with no reruns, and you have some sense of McBain’s grand, ongoing accomplishment.”

A homicide in the 87th Precinct wasn't exactly front-page news. But two murders made headlines. Both added up to big trouble. Pretty redhead Annie Boone lay facedown on a liquor store floor, surrounded by broken bottles and riddled with bullets. The boys of the 87th didn't have a suspect without an irontight alibi - or a reason for someone to shoot Annie dead. Detective Roger Havilland lay faceup in a grocery store's front window, a shard of glass piercing his jugular. A crazy bag lady was Detective Steve Carella's best witness. But a mistake by Carella's new partner Cotton Hawes could put them both in the line of fire - where a wrong move could get a good cop killed.

New Investigative Book Exposes Former President's Foundation is at the Center of the Anti-Police Firestorm The wave of riots and anti-police actions that began in the Spring of 2020, and continue to this day, have been generally reported by the mainstream media as an entirely spontaneous grass roots response to the death in police custody of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The mainstream media got it wrong. National Police Association writer and retired Seattle police officer Steve Pomper's new book, The Obama Gang, provides for the first time an explanation that what happened was far from spontaneous. This investigation into what is really behind the new vilification of law enforcement exposes the groundwork for the anti-police firestorm was carefully created, organized and led by former president Barack Obama's Foundation, and executed by the Foundation's web of allies. The anti-police machine which has been constructed to operate across the country 24/7. The seemingly independent anti-police factions are in actuality part of a larger "family" or "gang" of wealthy and radical individuals and organizations. With former President Barack H. Obama's Foundation at the top, they operate similar to an organized crime family--on the periphery of civil society. From the bottom up, the organizational chart begins with the "soldiers" on the streets, who caused such visible destruction during 2020, and climbs the crowded pyramid to the top. This "family", or gang of individuals and organizations are now working together like never before to collapse policing in America as we know it--to collapse America as we know it.
